Title: Reproduction speed conversion apparatus
Inventor: SOOTA AKIRA
IPC: H04N5/783
Filed: 2003-03-24
Granted: 2007-03-13
Abstract: A reproduction speed conversion apparatus includes an audio decoding section(101); an audio reproduction speed conversion section(108); a video reproduction speed conversion section(103); and a video decoding section(104).  The video reproduction speed conversion section determines whether reproduction speed conversion corresponding to a requested level is possible or not. When the reproduction speed conversion is determined to be possible, the video reproduction speed conversion section performs reproduction speed conversion corresponding to the requested level. When the reproduction speed conversion corresponding to the requested level is determined to be impossible, the video reproduction speed conversion section performs reproduction speed conversion corresponding to a prescribed level lower than the requested level, and outputs a second reproduction speed signal representing the prescribed level to the audio reproduction speed conversion section. The audio reproduction speed conversion section performs reproduction speed conversion corresponding to the prescribed level in response to the second reproduction speed signal.

Abstract: A high security lock apparatus comprises a deadbolt lock (70) having a lock body (71) and a deadbolt (73) extendible therefrom. A lock body support (67) cooperates with the lock body (71) to permit relative movement therebetween and has a deadbolt clearance opening (81) therein to receive the deadbolt (73) when aligned therewith. A doorbolt is operatively connected to the lock body support (67) and mounted for movement with respect to a complementary doorbolt stop in response to said relative movement. A tool receiver (77) cooperates with the lock body support (67) and receives an alignment tool (101) to generate the said movement to align the deadbolt (73) with the deadbolt clearance opening (81) prior to extending the deadbolt (73). Preferably, the lock body (71) is journalled for rotation relative to the lock body support (67). The lock body support (67) preferably has an actuating arm (21, 22) extending therefrom and a doorbolt link extends from the actuating arm (21, 22) to the doorbolt to operatively connect them together to actuate the doorbolt. In this way, strength of the doorbolt itself does not effect overall strength of the high security lock apparatus.

Abstract: To provide a shift control apparatus for a continuously variable transmission ensuring an operating feel similar to that during ordinary running regardless of remaining charge of a battery. In step S1, remaining charge M of a battery is detected. If it is determined that a vehicle is in a stationary state in step S2, the control proceeds to step S3. In step S3, the remaining charge M is compared with a reference remaining charge Mref. If it is determined that the remaining charge M is lower than the reference remaining charge Mref, the control proceeds to step S4. In step S4, it is determined whether the current shift pattern is a first pattern or a second pattern. The first pattern is adopted when the remaining charge is sufficient. The second pattern is adopted when the remaining charge is insufficient. If the current shift pattern is one other than the second pattern, then the control proceeds to step S5. In step S5, the shift pattern is changed from the current first pattern to the second pattern.
